The conventions should NEVER come back west. When it comes to conventions, the east puts it down.
You are correct. Plus when the convention was in California a few times, everyone just called it the "California" convention. I attended "Salt Fest" in 2001 in Rochester, NY and there were probably like 60 people and 40 cars. A hell of a lot for the middle of winter in the snow-belt. So many cars a lot of people didn't get to do their planned work. Then the next year it was an invite only thing because the shops were scared of insurance reasons.
